Reissues
Grumpy Pieces
On Grumpy Pieces, Harmonious Thelonious condenses his long-evolving language of interlocking melodies, polyrhythms and minimalist electronics into a rougher, nervier form, where grooves bristle with tension and noise becomes a structural force.
Agneta Nilsson (Heldon IV)
On Agneta Nilsson, Heldon sharpen their hybrid of radical prog and early electronics into long, slow-burning forms, where rigorously shaped tension keeps colliding with sudden voltage spikes of guitar and synth.
Un Rêve Sans Conséquence Spéciale (Heldon V)
On Un Rêve Sans Conséquence Spéciale, Heldon compress their sound into a harsher, more pressurised zone, where sharpened synth-guitar structures pulse, splinter and recombine, holding tight form even as they threaten to rupture.
Valtakunta
Black Vinyl. Eero Koivistoinen is one of the foundational figures of Finnish jazz - a saxophonist, composer and arranger whose career spans six decades and whose influence on the Nordic scene is impossible to overstate. Valtakunta, originally released in 1967 on Otavan Kirjalliset Äänilevyt (a book publisher, of all places), was his very first album, and it has remained one of the most elusive and sought-after records in the Finnish discography ever since - available only through a scarce CD rei…
Schönste Muziek

This legendary album by Industrial pioneer Z'EV was originally released in 1986 (LP, Dossier), now finally available with the state-of-the-art remastering it deserves. Also included is the bonus 20 minute track 'Titan Night', recorded at Berlin Atonal in December 1983, now available here for the first time on any format since the original 1984 split LP with Psychic TV (who performed their iconic set at the same e…

Love Beyond Love
Satatuhatta is proud to present the new full-length tape by The Day Of The Antler.

The sound palette of The Day Of The Antler has been varying from rural industrial to kosmische ambience.
This new release, ’Love Beyond Love’, presents the most noisy material…

Solid Static
On Solid Static, Musica Transonic / Mainliner - Asahito Nanjo, Makoto Kawabata and Tatsuya Yoshida - turn late‑90s Tokyo psych into a feral laboratory, smashing motorik riffs, free‑jazz volatility and distortion worship into one long, white‑hot detonation.

The black vinyl edition comes in a gatefold matt-laminate sleeve with silver detail, honoring the album's elusive, mercurial nature with understated elegance.

He remixed some cues and re-recorded …
Ngoma Tanzania
Joyful rug-cutters and sweet soul-uplifters from the town of Morogoro, in early-1960s Tanzania: muziki wa dansi, inspired by Cuban 78s, and dance crazes like the twist and cha cha cha, but making them its own. Here is the cream of over a hundred recordings by Salum, mostly for Mzuri Records of Kenya; pretty much lost till now. In an old-school tip-on cover, with lyrics in Swahili and English on the inner sleeve. Lovely stuff.
Eritrea's Guitar Pioneer
Drawn from his six monumental singles for the Philips, Amha and Yared labels between 1970-73, revolutionising traditional Eritrean music via the innovations of amplified kirar, electric guitar and horns.

Co-released with Mitmitta Musika in Addis Ababa; handsomely presented in a tip-on sleeve, with extensive liner notes, translati…
Young Blood
Mysterious, primitive lo-fi ‘pop’ from Swedish enigma Mind Control Hands - was anyone ever meant to hear this?
Something of a needle in a haystack. The depths of the internet are flooded with snippets of information about enigmatic CDrs, often no more than a crusty JPG and a bit of text, if you’re really lucky a single track to listen to. The vast majority are of no interest, but perseverance pays off. Mind Control Hands, originally birthed in the endless sprawl of CD-baby era early 00s micro…
